Chapter 1956 She Is Just Like My Mom
The next day, Lucian accompanied Roxanne to the cemetery where she paid respects to her mother.
As it suddenly began to drizzle, the cemetery was quickly covered in mist.
With an umbrella in his hand, Lucian made sure Roxanne was fully covered even if it meant that half of
his body would get wet.
Roxanne looked at the tombstone where a picture of her mother was embedded. It captured the first
time she smiled vibrantly ever since she got seriously sick.
She could still remember how she rushed back home from school back then and saw how neatly her
mother was dressed when she returned from a photography studio.
The beaming expression and the reluctance in her mother's eyes filled Roxanne with a sense of dread.
True enough, her mother met her untimely end not long after that.
Back then, Roxanne felt as if her world had collapsed. Her mind drew a blank, as the pillar of support in
her life was now gone.
She couldn't even recall how many days she went without food and water. In the end, she held a
simple funeral for her together with Grant in a detached state of mind.
Ever since the tragedy, Roxanne kept all her emotions to herself.
Regardless of the problems she faced in life, she would quietly hide away and let her wounds heal by
themselves.
She also swore that she would never forgive Grant for his unconscionable deeds.
Soon after her mother's death, Grant married Winnie and brought along Yosef and Yuliana into her life. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
That was when all her troubles started.
Back then, Lucian wasn't aware that he was the beacon of light in the darkness that engulfed
Roxanne's life. He had become the very reason she continued to live on.
After all, she was nothing but a lovestruck lass. Therefore, when coincidence somehow delivered her to
the Farwell family where she married Lucian, she couldn't be any happier.
This was despite the fact that Lucian harbored no interest in her and only saw her as a lowly gold
digger.
However, fate worked in mysterious ways!
In front of her mother's grave, Roxanne softly related Grant's latest situation.
He has gotten what he deserves!
Lucian waited quietly by the side until his wife was done. After helping her back to her feet, he knelt
down in front of the grave and declared, “Mom, you can rest assured that I'll take good care of
Roxanne and the kids. I'll never let anyone bully them ever again. So please bless us from wherever
you are up there.”
At that moment, a sense of warmth enveloped Roxanne as she smiled at her mother's picture.
“Mom, we're going off now. I'll come with the kids the next time. They've finally done it, once a month as
promised. Aren't they just filial to their granny?”
Upon emerging from the cemetery, Roxanne no longer felt the sorrow of the past. Instead, there was a
newfound sense of peace within her.
“Lucian, do you trust Grant? I still don't trust him fully until now,” asked Roxanne softly as she leaned
against Lucian's shoulder inside the car.
“My sentiments are exactly the same, but don't you worry. I won't allow him any opportunity to harm
you or the children.”
Lucian put his arm around her and pulled her closer.
Cayden, who was in the driver's seat, kept his eyes on the road and made sure not to look.
All of a sudden, Lucian answered a call from James.
“James said that Mr. and Mrs. Lann will drop by to visit the children tonight. They probably want to
thank us for helping Mrs. Lann out the last time. From James' tone, it's likely that Mrs. Lann's condition
has finally stabilized.”
While speaking, Lucian couldn't help admiring Roxanne for how decisively she resolved the matter the
last time.
“That's wonderful! She has finally gotten over her problems. Mrs. Lann is such a kind person and
resembles my mom a lot. The reason I managed to come up with that idea was that the situation
reminded me of the past, making me feel as if there's something I can do for my mom.”
Thoughts of her mother began to fill Roxanne's mind.
